AFFECTED BY THE DEAL.
The Uncertainty OF the u. & O.'s Plans
Reduces Commission Business.

Reuuces commission bueinesss
New YORK, July 12.-The influence Of
the incomplete Baltimore and Ohio deal
was the principal factor in The stock mar
ket to-day, the uncertainty attending 1t re-
ducing the commission business to a mini
mum, while even the traders were disin-
clincd to operate. There was no news OF
any importance OF character to affect
values, and the rumors which obtained
listeners were those In regard TO the Baltl-
more and Ohio matter only. The feeling
In the room was moderately bullish, but
fluctuations In the majority Of stocks traded
were within a range Of per cent.
The opening was dull and steady, and
the general list showed no change, although
Wheeling and Lake Erie and Louisville and
Nashville were strong In the early trading.
About two-lfths Of the days business was
transacted In the first hour, after which the
dullness became oppressive, with absolutely
no movement In prices, while the hour from
l2 to o'clock was the dullest seen in the
stock exchange for two years. Some little
animation was caused later by the weakness
In Reading and Wheeling and Lake Erie,
but this soon died away, and the market
closed extremely dull aud steady.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from 81 to @, last loan at 5, and closing
offered at 2. Sterling exchange is dull and
unsettled. Actual business at 4s2 to
1921 for C0-day bills, and 1881 to 4s32
for demand. Posted rates 4S3l to ass.
Government bonds have been dull aud
Il steady. State bonds have been dull and
featureless.
